How do you spot real impact when numbers mask the places where you really need to make progress? Or when power, privilege, and bias shape the systems of measurement? Sarindi Aryasinghe reflects on how we can do our bit to turn commitments to equity into real, tangible, everyday improvement work.

If quality improvement methods raises overall performance while unjust gaps remain, we need to question whether our methods are designed to reduce them - Sarindi Aryasinghe, Head of Implementation at the NHS Race and Health Observatory.

Fantastic editorial responding to my 1st PhD paper on importance of embedding community co-production to address ethnic inequities in #maternity care. Communities have unique & important perspective of health services. Together we are greater than just the sum of our parts. #medsky #academicsky

So well said 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽 Data curation and what gets measured is a calculated choice by those that have more power and agency societally, we still have a long way to go to make sure we are not leaving people behind as data federation, #bigdata and #AI convos continue to rapidly expand.

Folks who uncritically say “there’s only benefits to joined up #HealthData” tend to be from groups who historically and currently have not had data misused about them, data withheld from them, or had their experiences ignored in data sets. Ownership, accountability, transparency are keywords here.
